Social Impact

Millions of Indians still live Below the Poverty Line (BPL) and face a number of issues related to health, education and employment on a daily basis. Providing meaningful employment and livelihood opportunities to youth is an absolute necessity to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth given the favourable demographics. IL&FS Skills has been a front runner in providing skills and livelihood training to people from different social groups. Our programmes have yielded impact through improvement in income and standard of living, not only for the individuals but their families and communities.

Working with Youth

We have skilled and placed 4,50,000 youth (18 – 35 years) with special focus on Bottom Of Pyramid (BOP) groups. We cater to the training needs of school drop-outs, X/XII grade pass-outs, vocationally trained and college graduates (including engineering graduates). For example : Our presence in over 15 districts of J&K has linked several Kashmiri youth to jobs in retail, hospitality and BPO sector companies in metro cities. The ‘learner centric’ approach ensures strong skills and employability foundation and smooth transition into employment for the trainee.
